Chordae tendineae
Chordae tendineae are associated with the heart, specifically with the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral valves). They are fibrous cords that attach the valves to the papillary muscles in order to prevent the valves from inverting into the atria during ventricular contraction.
The structure between the left atrioventricular valve and the papillary muscle is the chordae tendineae.
